Instead of demanding a bipartisan Benghazi committee, the Democrats must boycott this farce, whose sole aim is to humiliate Obama and Clinton.
So House Republicans are zeroing in on the particulars of how the Select Committee to Mention the Words Clinton and Benghazi in the Same Sentence for as Long as Possible (I think that’s the official name) is going to work. On Tuesday morning, Nancy Pelosi issued a statement on the question: The panel has to be 50-50 bipartisan, she insisted, and all information must be shared on a bipartisan basis. Then, she seemed to imply, maybe the Democrats would play ball.
News broke Tuesday night that the Republicans were rejecting that and insisting on seven Republicans and five Democrats. Whatever. I don’t care if the Republicans had accepted Pelosi’s conditions and then agreed to bake cookies with the likeness of Franklin Roosevelt on top. There is no way on earth the Democrats should lend this committee the least bit of legitimacy. They absolutely must boycott this absurd, insane, sickening, repulsive, shameful, and at the same time shame-less circus.
Benghazi is and has been for some time a witch hunt that perverts all notions of democratic accountability and that obviously carries one purpose and one purpose only—the humiliation or worse of as many Democrats as possible, preferably the big cheeses (Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton). Ever since Watergate, the Republicans have wanted one of their own, one in which they’re the good guys, forcing a Democratic president to resign in disgrace. They tried it with Bill Clinton, but he just kept getting more and more popular as more and more Americans came to see the Republicans’ coup d’etat, their attempt to criminalize errant but perfectly legal behavior, for what it was—an affair....

They should rename it The Daily Tantrum, would be more fitting.

I’ve got an idea or two, but not related to Democracy. I thought we were a Republic, what’s with this Democracy crap Michael, where did that come from?
(yawn) Old shtick.
I bet this cucker has no problem with anything targeted on the Right.
Yes, we can smell it.
*snicker*
“There is no way on earth the Democrats should lend this “democracy” the least bit of legitimacy.
Right on, all power to the soviet people......./s
Can you smell it?
Heehee, is that rat poop in your pants or are you just
glad to meet the committee.....proceed with the swearing
in.
They know the Benghazi actions were a disgrace, and done completely for political purposes. They lied to the American people in technicolor about a vicious terrorist strike - and by lying put us all in jeopardy. Why? Because Obama and Hillary saying it was just a video is basically saying to every police officer, homeland security officer, FBI agent, military soldier, sailor and airman, CIA, ICE agent, etc. that it is okay to stand down. Do not look sharp for terrorism because there is none. That this is not a terrorist incident, this was an accident caused by a video and you should relax. That is what is shameful here, they not only mislead the American people for votes, they misled our own security forces that we are not under attack. They put the nation at risk because this Benghazi action was completely planned, well armed, military terrorist attack that had exclusive inside information against US positions, and our armed forces everywhere should have been alerted by the real words by our Commander in Chief, not the lies that were told. This was in fact a grotesque dereliction of duty.
Does everybody get the word? Perjury is errant, but perfectly legal behavior.
The Law According to Michael Tomasky...
She’s far more then Bat-Sh!t Crazy. It’s truly frightening that this thing is anywhere near where laws are made.
To make a Leftist mad, expose the truth... just as the Benghazi Hearings are sure to do.
And it was overpriced at that.
Finding the truth is not important to the left.
Well no actually it is not. At least not in the case of 4 murdered Americans on Obama’s watch.
Democrats react as they realize the truth about Benghazi is going to come out...and it won't look good for their little tin gods.
The flak is heaviest over the target.
When you corner a rat, or a snake, they fight back savagely. Fear. That smell is fear.
It is his own little childish way of saying “Dude......”
Such purple language this early in the process tells me the democRats are in panic mode. “And they that Soweth the wind will reap the whirlwind “
witch hunt may be a proper description if they are talking about Hillary.
